We stay for a week, and spent the last 4 days alone in the area, out of the Filippino couple who was in charge of cleaning and cooking at Porter's. It is a bit far away from the village, but this is the best part of the story! You must rent a golf cart- the only motorized possibility- to move...

My husband and I traveled back in February 2016 and it has taken me this long to write a review because I truly feel that words cannot express the time that we had! Porter and Hadiee (and Apol and Lolli) made sure that we had the best stay we could have dreamed of. We have traveled extensively and have never...

Our TEAM's goal to provide those visiting Salt Cay a memory that will last a lifetime.
We strive to address every detail! Making your experience on an "out island" in the Turks & Caicos so much more than one would expect. Be it WiFi, complementary cell phone use, daily maid service, the amenities found in the rooms; from the quality...

There are two buildings, each with two rooms. Our room had a comfortable bed, bathroom with shower, and basic kitchen with refrigerator, cooktop and convection oven. The rooms are designed to catch the ocean breezes (no AC). We loved breakfast on the big porch facing the ocean. Don’t be surprised if roaming donkeys come by looking for a handout. The...

Exemplary service is one of our main goals. Be it in assisting in pre-trip planning to Salt Cay or making sure your stay on Salt Cay meets your expectations and is "seamless."
We are delighted you enjoyed dining at our flagship restaurant, Porter's Island Thyme, where you can expect the unexpected.
Thanks for the great review and our TEAM looks...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words....so here are several thousand...And yet, nothing I can say or display can accurately describe the perfection of Castaways, and the extraordinary beauty upon which it sits, in Salt Cay.
I am on a continuous search for earth's most beautiful beaches. My favorites include those on the islands of Barbuda, Culebra, Anguilla,...

Your review has captured the essence of Castaways, our flagship restaurant Island Thyme and the spirit of Salt Cay. We are now getting reservations for next season and we encourage everyone to finalize their plans sooner than later, while rooms are still available.
Our TEAM thanks you for the great review and we...

I woke up the first day away from Castaway feeling like I'd just had the best dream. But our week there was all real and completely pleasant. You always search on TripAdvisor for the clues that a certain place will truly be as spectacular as the marketing suggests. At Castaway, you TRULY:
* are steps from the beach
* can...

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our honeymoon! Beautiful beach, great accommodations, wonderful people. Salt Cay is truly a gem for those looking for an adventure off the beaten path.

You have summed up the spirit of Salt Cay!
Thanks for staying at Castaways and dining at Porter's Island Thyme! We look forward to your return to Salt Cay!

Stayed 8 wonderful nights.
All reviews are correct, not much more I can add.
Hosts, staff and local residents are all so welcoming. You are provided with everything you need but if you mention anything you may want...it appears as if out of thin air.
We even had a local resident over hear us in a roadside store asking for...

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Castaways on Salt Cay's pristine North Beach, as well as your dining experience at our flagship restaurant Island Thyme.
Salt Cay is a unique destination and our goal is for visitors to become one with the community.
Our TEAM at Castaways and Island Thyme strive to provide service not typically found on...

We stayed in one of the Castaway cottages for three nights at the end of February. Porter and Haidee and Apol and Lollie all offered top drawer services (VERY clean!!) and made us feel welcome and at ease. The beach and ocean breezes blowing through our cottage are almost indescribable, that's how good it felt to be there. They accommodated...

We heartedly agree with you, when you come to Salt Cay: "No better place to stay if you go than Castaway!"
We look forward to your return to Castaways on Salt Cay and thanks for the great review!

My wife and I just returned home from a week spent at Castaway and feel great about the whole experience. Salt Cay itself is a laid back, friendly and safe place to just relax. North beach is pristine with great swimming and snorkeling and on many days we found ourselves to be completely alone on the sand except for a...

Thanks for the great review! Your review highlights we are achieving our goals of providing unparalleled personal service on Salt Cay in the Turks & Caicos. Castaways is our First Class property on Salt Cay's North Beach and is in a class by itself.
We are also delighted you enjoyed the dining experience at our flagship restaurant: Porter's Island Thyme....

Cottage right on the beach, sound of the ocean, beautiful views, great food nearby or use your own kitchen. Can't get any better than this! Very quiet island, wild donkeys meandering the streets, lots of history on the island. Eat at Island Thyme restaurant, the best food and they make you feel so welcome. Very personal service, not like a...

Your review summed up Salt Cay and the service we strive to provide! Castaways is the only rental on Salt Cay's pristine North Beach...yes a little remote...but the perfect place to refresh & recharge.
We also are delighted you enjoyed your dining experience at Porter's Island Thyme, our flagship restaurant. Where the unexpected becomes the expected.
Our TEAM thanks you...

“Castaway is two houses with two units in each house. We lived in the most easterly one (Crusoe2) and that means a bit more shade from the pines. It also means more wind but that is usually good, because it is the wind that is the natural AC and it works very good.”

“We stayed on both sides of the cottage. The last cottage is great for the cross breeze from the tradewinds. All rooms are great. Although there isn't air conditioning, it wasn't necessary. There is a constant breeze coming through.”
